What is your favorite/most effective way to take out a team's cake?

Welcome back (:!
Your strategies is basically what I use besides Poly the Sheep. It can easily be killed and its just more efficient if done being sneaky and destroy the barriers around the cake. I love default kit and hate snowball kit! It’s a difficult battle if against one another. The best way to approach honestly is practicing strafe techniques rather than directly coming at the player to fight as they can snowball combo which isn’t fun haha.
Some methods I have seen especially in duos is using the archer kit to bow and defend. Really difficult to handle but again, strafing techniques come in handy! Bowing off enemies is efficient to do if you would like that approach too! Can maybe even knock them off their platform?
Thanks for making this thread hope to see you in game sometime!

Rushing.

There's no better feeling than being in a voice call with your teammate in Duos, coordinating yourselves as you prepare to engage in raw battle against your closest enemies.

So there are several outcomes, either the team is very good and we get rushed back and die pretty quickly, we eat their cake successfully in our first attempt, or the fighting draws to a stalemate. The latter ones can be fun, but even if we win them, there is usually a team that already has enough gear to safely win the game. Then again, my teammate and I enjoy being the underdogs.

I don't really like to fight against organized defences.

 

Ohh cool, that is true. Honestly getting snowball kit takes nothing. I have seen level 30s have it no problem. I assume alts but too many to be alting. Still a challenging kit to encounter!

 

Just get a good teammate and the first 3 bricks buy blocks one bridges to little island between you and your neighbor (not the emerald beacon) then the other rushes the base and both either eat the cake and fight if they aren’t bots try to win the 2v2 but trying to focus 1 person as they will most likely have iron swords and then just eat cake and prob die after then just rush them one more time and end them.

 

If i were in Java, I would rush to the middle with 2 players while the last one guards the cake with endstone. However, if we were in trouble with the cake (seeing other teams rushing our cake), we would alert and rush back to the cake.

After catching middle, I would use an ender pearl as an emergency exit/rushing to a cake unnoticed. Though my PvP is not extremely strong like these top players, I can resist 2 weak players attacking me. Alternatively, I would use platforms and/or bridge to a team's cake with someone, but because I use frosting as my PvP advantage, it would be hard.

If the team took the control of the mid strongly, I would cap the sides to receive emeralds.

Lastly (and most importantly), have friends that are respectful and cooperative, not just pros in order to party them. I join a party by either 3 or 4 players, depending on how many friends me and my teammates have.

 

I have had my fair share of Cake Wars games recently, and personally I always feel that taking out an enemies cake is low priority. It is much more important for me to rush middle and get gear first before I start attacking enemies' cake. I realized that every game I rushed someone's cake at the start, I would be out geared by the end of the match and lose since I wasn't capturing any beacons. So instead I always rush middle first, and then go for cakes one by one. While not everyone may agree with me, I believe this is the most effective way to win. Additionally, I agree with Laylq about the default kit. It is much more convenient, faster, and easier to rush cakes later in the game with the pillars rather then wasting time and energy getting blocks. Snowball kit is effective if you are skilled, but it isn't worth losing the free wool from default kit.

Note: This is for Cake Wars Duos only!

 

To be honest, the last time I played CW (earlier today), I killed a really sweaty team by baiting them out and ender pearling on their cake and destroying it. It was nice because they then let us win haha, thanks if you know who I’m talking about.

 

If your playing duos mid is completely not required unless there’s a good team and I would know because I main the game and have a thousand wins on it you can see my stats by doing statpl enjets cw2

 

Ah lord I remember the good days when snowballs gave slowness effect to whoever you hit for a few seconds. I remember on my alts I grinded to snowball and easily racked up 100s of kills/wins because of how op it was.

 

Heyo,

I used to play cake wars a lot, now I rotate from super paintball and nano games. Usually, my tactic was to get at least 16 sometimes 32 wool just to rush a base depending if there are sweats, but mostly 16 wool since I usually start off with emeralds and get beacons. Afterwards, I try to get more wool and try to fit in some more wool if not a sword and a pickaxe sometimes just because then I will be rushing. This also matters who I'm playing with, for example, if I'm in a call with pros or people I know on a regular basis we usually talk it out and rush all the way to victory, but if they aren't people I know or just people that don't have experience with the game, I usually tend to play defensive, which I then wait for them to get stacked or whatever. Thank you for asking :)

I would say either rushing the cake in order to destroy it quickly or like obliterating the enemy team into oblivion and destroying their cake while they're respawning. I personally try that a lot with my team when I rarely play lol, it feels fun to rush over as quickly as possible and destroy them before they can get situated.

 

My favorite way to take out a Cake is to simply team rush and drop tnt EVERYWARE!! It's so fun because I'll just bridge up and drop back down after the players have been knocked off by the tnt!
